Because of her injuries and the long distance, the carriage traveled for ten full days before reaching the nearest small town to the capital.

The carriage stopped at the inn, and the journey was considered safe.

During the break, Qin Zhiyi had just picked up a cup of tea when he saw several people barging in.

Wherever he looked, he saw that familiar face.

This shocked her so much that she even knocked over the teacup in her hand.

"A Sheng, is that you?"

She muttered something, and the man walked up to her in a few steps and hugged her into his arms.

"Ayi, I didn't know you would come. If not, I would have picked you up early, and I wouldn't have let you travel all the way for so long, let alone..."

Let alone let the emperor issue an order to summon her to the palace.

Thinking of these, his heart ached.

The emperor's recent actions have made him feel more and more excessive. If he had known earlier, he would never have allowed the emperor to recruit her.

"I'm fine."

Qin Zhiyi knew what he was thinking, and patted her back gently: "I live in such a remote place. I have only heard about the prosperity of the capital, but I have never seen it. The emperor summoned me today, so I have a chance.

Come and take a look.”

She smiled at him, even her tone was nonchalant.

Such Qin Zhiyi made him feel even more distressed. He reached out and gently touched her cheek: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"It's not hard, isn't it almost here?"

Soon the two went back to the room to talk. During this period, Fei Chengsheng was not willing to let go of her for a moment. Qin Zhiyi told him interesting things about Yunyang County, a few children, and what he saw and heard.

Fei Chengsheng just listened silently, until finally, his arms around him became even stronger.

Because the injury on his back was not completely healed, Qin Zhiyi frowned in pain when he hugged her like this, and couldn't help but push him away.

"What? Did I pinch you and hurt you?"

Fei Chengsheng was also startled and quickly let go.

Normally, this amount of force wouldn't hurt at all. Although it was inconvenient for her to say, she still nodded: "A little bit."

"It's all my fault."

Fei Chengsheng hugged her into his arms: "You have lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot at home these days."

He trained day and night in the capital and the emperor asked him to train dead soldiers.

Although he couldn't guess what the emperor wanted to do, he still practiced hard every day.

The emperor had already raised a group of dead soldiers in private, so in his opinion, the emperor's decision to let him train became an excuse to keep him in the capital.

"I haven't suffered much. Of course I will look thinner after giving birth."

At this point, she asked again: "Do you know what happened when the emperor summoned me to the capital? I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Fei Chengsheng said: "I guess the emperor is confused about your relationship with Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao is just a pawn to her. He is curious about why you two are so close. Of course, he is more curious about what my wife is.

What kind of woman is she?"

The emperor once asked about Qin Zhiyi, and she only said that she was the smartest, kindest and most beautiful woman in the world.

He said it from the bottom of his heart. The speaker had no intention but the listener had intention. It must have been this sentence that made the emperor want to see it.

"So that's it. If you look at it like this, it shouldn't be a big deal."

In fact, Fei Chengsheng was a little worried. The emperor came to him not only to be curious about his wife, but also to test how much his wife knew.

He had great ambitions, but he never told her.

"When you enter the palace, if the emperor asks you something else and you don't know, just say you don't know. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Relying on his solid chest, Qin Zhiyi also felt extremely at ease.

"Okay, I will do as you say."

With Qin Zhiyi in his arms, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Under the flickering candlelight, he felt that she was more moving than ever.

"Ayi, I miss you so much after being apart for so long."

As he spoke, he couldn't help lowering his head and kissed her lips gently.

With just such a touch, Qin Zhiyi's entire body collapsed in his arms.

Fei Chengsheng carried her to the bed, and kissed her forehead, cheeks, nose and lips carefully for a long time before he said again: "I'll go and wash it off first."

He knew that she was a tidy person. He had been running all the way from the capital for most of the day, and his body was full of sweat odor, so he had to wash it off.

Qin Zhiyi answered, already dripping with sweat. After Fei Chengsheng left, she opened the room, called Yin'er over, and asked her to tell the waiter at the inn to prepare bath water for her.

Because the injury on her back was not completely healed, Yin'er helped her take a bath. Looking at the shocking scars on her back, Yin'er couldn't help but sigh: "If the master sees this, I'm afraid he will be heartbroken."

Qin Zhiyi smiled: "Then don't let him see it."

After washing up, Fei Chengsheng also tidied up.

The next day, it was already bright, and Qin Zhiyi got up slowly.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the man lying next to her.

She put her hands on his chest and continued to rest in his arms.

"It would be great if I woke up every day and had you by my side."

She muttered something, but in fact it was just talk.

But at this time, Fei Chengsheng said: "The day will come soon when the work that the Emperor asked me to do is almost finished. When this matter is completed, I will go back with you."

Qin Zhiyi told Fei Chengsheng that he was looking for a palace maid to teach her the rules of the palace. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Fei Chengsheng just smiled and said: "There is no need to learn anything, the emperor knows your birth

, naturally I won’t blame you. If I had the intention to blame you, I’m afraid you would still find an excuse to do it even if you learned the public rules.”

When she said this last sentence, her face became obviously colder.

Seeing that she was silent, Fei Chengsheng hugged her gently and said, "Don't worry, as a man and a husband, it is my duty to protect my family."

After the two of them washed up and had breakfast, they took the carriage and drove towards the capital.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the gate of the city. Many generals stood at the gate to greet her. When they saw her, they all raised their hands and called her Princess Regent.

Fei Chengsheng held her hand from beginning to end, giving her a sense of security.

The two of them were not in a hurry to enter the palace, but went to the Regent's Palace first.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering, there was a eunuch shouting at the door to receive the order.

The two of them went out together and saw another eunuch standing at the door, holding an imperial edict in his hand. Behind him were a group of young eunuchs, each holding something in their hands.

Qin Zhiyi knelt down to receive the edict. After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, she realized that the eunuch belonged to the Queen Mother and that her belongings were also sent by the Queen Mother.

Silk silk, jewelry, gold and silver treasures.

It can be said that the things given by the Queen Mother are not many at all.

The queen mother left, and the emperor's people also came, but they did not reward her with anything. They just conveyed the imperial edict and asked her to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

She knew that what was supposed to come would come.
